many and many a year ago   in a kingdom by the sea,   a maiden there lived   by the name of annabell lee.      she lived with no other thought   than to love and be loved by me,   in this kingdom by the sea   her name was annabell lee.      all the night - tide,   I lie down her side   oh my darling - my darling - my bride   my life and my bride   all the night - tide      in her sepulchre there by the sea   in her tomb by the sounding sea   I lie down by her side   all the night - tide   oh my darling my darling - my bride      her high-born kinsmen came   and bore her away from me   to shut her up in a sepulchre   in this kingdom by the sea.      neither the angels in heaven above,   nor the demons down under the sea,   can dissever my soul from the soul   of the beautiful annabell lee.      [Edgar Allan Poe]
